Link Lists for the Masses: Kudos to Those Who Compile Them

In the world of Internet communications, sometimes you just
don’t have the “right” photo to accompany whatever it is you are writing about.
Because my blog is considered more of a personal journal, I almost always use
my own photos because photography is one of my passions.

But, I was recently searching for photos of the Los Angeles
skyline and the California courts for another project, and nothing I had
resident was working although I did find some things on the major photosharing
sites like Flickr, Shutterfly, SmugMug and Picasa.

Then I tripped across this article at Arcagility entitled “100 Legal Sources for Free Stock Images. Laura
Milligan lists them as follows:

Most Popular

Community Powered Content

Artists Welcome

Less is Sometimes More

Stock Images Plus

Miscellaneous

General

I absolutely love it when someone has such a comprehensive
site with links that would take us days to find on our own. I personally maintain a list of all Apple/Macintosh sites so I can keep up with the news I write for my user group's monthly newsletter which I'll share sometime if anyone is interested. What comprehensive lists do you have that you would be willing to share?

This photo of the Los Angeles skyline on Flickr was taken by
Fort Ogden

This is the landing flight path at LAX looking toward
downtown L.A., the city I was born in and love unashamedly. It is about six miles from my home and each time I fly home from somewhere, I get teary-eyed when I see this--and then the passover of the San Diego freeway. I'm almost home.
